Kindly let me know which files to edit to get these partitions mounted in linux, and do i have any options to access linux partitions in win98.

create the two directories by issuing the command $ mkdir /mnt/winc /mnt/wind (as a super user)
at the end of the fstab file enter the following entries...
/dev/hda1 /mnt/winc vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/wind vfat defaults 0 0
thats all ...when u boot ur machine next time ... you will be able to access ur win98 partitions in Linux ... under /mnt folder ..

Also that you need to create those mentioned directories /mnt/winc and /mnt/wind by rk of course. People might miss out on that...

Use explore2fs. It lists all ur ext2, ext3 pattitions. It claims a read write access to ext2, and readonly access to ext3 partitions
